My mare was fully clipped yesterday and was hot clothed (with vinegar in the water) afterwards. I took her rug off today expecting to find a lovely shiny horse but instead was greeted by a grease monkey. It's unbelievable the amount of grease she seems to create in a short space of time, my hand was white when I ran it down her neck! (This is a fairly regular thing with her, not just a one off!)

What makes them produce grease? Could it be that she's too cold? Lacking something in her diet?

Is there anything I can do to stop there being so much of the stuff? Would be nice not to have white gloves every time I pat her!
 
I'd be interested to know too... my gelding was only bathed 3 weeks ago, and was all clean and shiny. His mane is now so greasy that it feels solid at the base, I'm at a loss as to how they can produce so much :(
 
Codlievene supplement powder in white orange tub
Super codlievene if veteran . STRAP pad works wounders
Strap your mussell groups after exercise while mussell
worm increases blood flow then brush then gleam with a
cloth teatowel piece velvet to direction of coat.when
in a routine with it takes 20 mins. Build straping up slowly
old fashioned way but works wounders for coats and
mussell tone horses love it . The supplement i found
helped.
